San Gimignano has Etruscan origins but was in the Middle Ages that the city experienced its glory and today appears to its visitors with a magnificent medieval aspect. Starting from the tenth century, San Gimignano developed and enriched thanks to the Via Francigena through which many pilgrims, especially from France, came down to Rome. San Gimignano, however, was the crossroads for those who had to go to Pisa and its port, an extremely important place in the Middle Ages. In 1300 the trade of saffron, wool, wines like the Greco and the Vernaccia and lending of money made ​​the city rich and powerful, so much so that Florence decided to subdue it and since then, the city lost importance and was abandoned. Between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries there were just a few renovations and new buildings and that's why today you can see inside the medieval walls a town from the fifteenth century, although the number of towers significantly decreased.
